This week we started building simple circuits using a breadboards. Breadboards are used to create circuits so that you have a quick simple way of testing whether a circuit works correctly or not. This keeps you from ruining the materials you use to make the circuit. With a breadboard you can use them over and over again. Otherwise when you made the circuit you would have to solder the connections which would mean if there was a mistake you couldn't fix it. You would have to throw the whole thing away and start again.
With the breadboard you can rearrange your circuit, make changes and see if a different arrangement or configuration will save space. Smaller circuit boards mean smaller objects, and small is better when it comes to portable devices.
We haven't started making complex circuits yet so you may not see how breadboards really make a difference. But they do make a big improvement to the process of circuit design.
How did your first day of building circuits do? Did you have any problems? How did you fix the problem?

my first day of making circuits was fun. I had a little of trouble at first.But after a while i got the hang of it.The worksheet was realy confusing though.
the first day making the circuits was hard but after a while i got the hang of it and got the job done.
it waz g00d. 3ven though i didn't get 2 build circuits cause i didn't have enough time.
the first day with circuts was interesting but I had a little trouble with how to arrange the circuts correctley
no i didn have any problems,it waz pretty easy. at first i had a problem bt then i fixed it.
I did make it work. But It was not right. It was in onother way. But it works how I did the circuits. The light was on.
This week was cool beacause we got to use the lights and batterys too build a circuit it was cool beacause the lights lit up.
When i started to do Circuits and Breadboards was pretty hard for me i had helped.
I didnt really know about circuits and breadboards cause it was hard for me so i had helped.
I didnt know how to do the Circuits and Breadboards cause i t was hard
